I do something similar - my /etc/ppp/ip-up contains (after the export PATH statement that's there by default): mail -s "$4" [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<EOD The new ip address is in the subject. EOD runq The "runq" is in case my link has been down for a while and there's outgoing mail that should be sent. The first three lines do what you want. I suppose I could be more elaborate, by then having procmail on the account that receives the new ip-address do something special, like put it in a file or modify a web page on the machine that's always up to point to the webserver on my machine, but this is really enough for what I'm doing. Incidentally, you should really consult the dynamic-IP-hacks mini-HOWTO; it contains this trick and much more. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
